The
issue being discussed in the video would be the status of print
newspaper. Are newspapers doomed? Are these effects the impact of
digital age? Many people in this day generation prefer to read news
online. There are so many reasons behind this stereotypical act. The
most prominent reason that we all know is because the newspaper
online is always updated unlike the printed version because the
prints are only 1 copy a day. As one of the panelists mentioned
earlier, printed newspapers suffers as consumer’s gets news online.
Only 5-10% of people actually bother if the print newspaper lives or
dies. People are more likely to be engaged in reading online news
compared to the old way of reading. News consumers are also
producers. By comparing online news to newspaper, take for example
The Huffington Post which is a online news aggregator, it is more
interactive, news get posted faster and readers get to know other
readers point of view. Newspaper is profitable until 2006, and now
its collapsing. Newspaper fail to understand what consumer demands.
Anybody can be a journalist these days, like a citizen journalism.
News in newspaper is has certain higher level creditability compare
to news from a citizen journalism. Internet news is revolving.
Newspaper haven’t create ‘eyeball catching’ news lie what
internet producers. How long for internet to transform to online
outlet? Newspaper can’t really replicate online news. Newspaper are
subsidizing.
Newspapers
business is half the size of it five years before. Andrea Stone from
the huffington post says that there are more people who read
e-newspapers than the print newspapers.using the e-news (eg-
huffington post) readers can get to comment on the news which gives a
two-way communication for the readers and also the people in charge
of the e-news.
From
the news coverage by Al-Jazeera, the panelist shared their thoughts
on the slow death of newspapers. It has been said that newspaper
business is half the size of what it was 5 years before. According to
Andrea Stone from The Huffington Post, in this modern generation,
there are more people who read e-newspapers than printed newspapers.
Readers who read e-newspapers, for example:- The Huffington Post, are
allowed to give their opinions on the post and this provides a two
way communication for the readers as well as the publishers of the
news online.
We
definitely agree that newspapers are facing a slow death. People are
all choosing to go online, partially to safe the environment. We
believe that reading news online is so much updated than the printed
newspaper. People of this day generation, are mostly on the go,
getting their news online would be the most convenient way.
However,
there are still people from the previous generation who still buy
newspaper daily, we believe this is because they have been doing this
for a long time so they're not used to reading the news online. In
addition, we believe that the newspaer is more trustworthy compared
to news online, this reason being that online anyone is able to write
for the news so people believe them easily even when it's not
accurate.
News
on newspaper should be more extraordinary instead of printing the
news in the same old pattern and style. Newspaper have to create
values that reader s will appreciate. Newspapers can create there
advertisement to become more interesting and lively which can attract
readers attention. Another way is to print or make the newspaper
pages look more colorful.
Some youngsters still have the habit to read newspapers. One of the
suggestions to attract young people like us would be, printing out
colorful newspapers. People of this day generation prefer colors. It
can be proven even in their sense of style and fashion. Colorful
newspapers could definitely attract the reader’s eye easier then
the black and white newspaper.
